Oregon Department of Transportation Application for Exemptions for Farmers

Streszczenie

The FMCSA has received an application from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for exemptions from all the Federal regulatory requirements concerning parts and accessories necessary for the safe operation of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and concerning the inspection, repair and maintenance of CMVs on behalf of motor carriers certified by and registered with ODOT as farmers. ODOT believes that enforcing its general rules of the road and vehicle safety regulations would ensure that the level of safety for the farmers is equivalent to or greater than the level of safety that would be achieved by complying with the Federal regulations. The exemptions, if granted, would preempt inconsistent local requirements in Oregon applicable to interstate commerce.
